COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — A new camera program that will help catch speeding drivers could be coming to Colorado Springs.
According to our news partners The Gazette, City Council approved a reading of the program Tuesday.
The camera system will use radar technology to track and identify speeders. Once the Colorado Springs Police Department (CSPD) implements the system, drivers caught speeding in neighborhoods and near parks will be charged a $40 fine.
Drivers who are caught speeding in school and construction zones will be charged an $80 fine.
Police say speed is the leading factor of traffic injuries in El Paso County. They say this new program should help reduce the number of people getting hurt.
